casualYeah, I almost felt bad for Quinn in a way. Both big air and slope he was just out classed in terms of tech. Don’t get me wrong, I love his skiing and he’s crazy good, he’s just never seemed like a guy who has devoted himself to learning xgames podium worthy tricks, so it’s sort of weird that he was there at all.


maybe it’s a covid thing? They want him for knuckle huck and due to athlete limits they sort of threw him out there? I don’t know. His vibe all weekend has been great though


I think monster athletes get priority

Snowboard big air is way better then the ski big air. Maybe they have better luck with this jump or they are just going for it harder? Seems like they are taking it way deeper on the landing.

That's stupid that they prioritize athletes based on their sponsor. That just lowered x-games in my eyes.

I'm not disagreeing, it's a quad rain storm but it's all corks and spins for them, not a single rodeo or misty or anything yet. So we have that going for us lol

Maybe they saw that the judges don't like unique and difficult axes (like a dub bio 18) so they aren't wasting their time and all going cork.

Chubz.X games is dead


No snowmobiling events was extremely wack this year. I know Colorado's Covid rules are straight bullshit right now so does that have an affect on why there was only like 8 riders per discipline? This year was a giant let down and based on the viewership I have a feeling it won't go over so well.
Also the remarks about Monster getting athletes in is no surprise. It was always the same with snow park technologies as there the ones who build the park so they always got people in. I never understood that until one homie I talked with competed in the Burton U.S open at Vail but always got snubbed when it came to X games and based on standings/ points it made no sense.

Can confirm, Quinn loves the OG Al Dente, and picked up one of the few (new) remaining pairs while in EU earlier this season. When asked if he could use at X, Armada TM said go nuts.
